    Remarks Following a Cabinet Meeting
    November 4, 2004

        I just met with my Cabinet. I am proud of every person here. They've
    done a great job for the country. I reminded them that even though our
    election just ended, we've still got work to do. I talked about an
    agenda that we will complete and an agenda that we will take forward.
        I made it clear to them I was glad the election was over and
    reminded them that we're here for a reason. And to a person, they
    understand that it's such an honor to serve America, it's a privilege to
    sit around this table, and that we will all continue to do the people's
    business.
        But anyway, I want to thank them all for their hard work. I am--when
    I told the people that I put together a fantastic group of men and
    women, I meant every word of that, and I want to thank them all for
    their service.
        Thank you.
